Badhaai Ho clashed with Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor's Namaste England. The Vipul Amrutlal Shah-directed film is a "disaster" at the box office and managed to rake in merely Rs 7.75 crore, a Box Office India report stated. "Namaste England is a disaster at the box office as it collects Rs 7.75 crore nett in the first week and will finish up with just Rs 8 crore nett lifetime collections. This is lower than the first weekend of Namastey London which did Rs 9 crore nett plus over the weekend," the report stated.

Badhaai Ho opened to largely positive reviews. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, gave the film three and-a-half-stars out of five. He praised the actors for their impressive performances and wrote: "Among the most impressive aspects of Badhaai Ho is the way the director harnesses the rest of the on-screen talent pool and makes every character, even the minor ones, count."
